Arizona - New Mexico Centennials
No. 844 will depart Cheyenne in mid-October heading for the sunny climes of Arizona and New Mexico to help both states celebrate their centennials.
The New Mexico celebration kicks off in Tucumcari on Nov. 4, 2011, with No. 844 then heading to Lordsburg.
The Living Legend also will travel through Southern Arizona (including Phoenix) to celebrate Arizona’s Centennial as well as the railroad’s history and heritage. The locomotive will make overnight stops and be on display in a number of towns and cities to be determined by Union Pacific.
